A house from 1833: Parisian dandyism reinvented for the present
D’ORSAY bears the name of Count Alfred d’Orsay (1801-1852), one of the most fascinating figures of Romantic Paris: painter, sculptor, thoroughbred dandy, and friend of Byron, Beau Brummell, and Delacroix. The house he founded in 1833 was a salon of good taste and period elegance. Relaunched in 2015, D’ORSAY chose to build on this heritage without being weighed down by it.
The contemporary collection includes fragrances with Parisian and aesthetic themes: Marquis de Sade (an amber leather with iris), Confidence (an elegant fougère), L’Intrus (a woody with salt and musk), and Embrassez-moi (a floral with labdanum). The bottles, minimally designed, evoke a modern and balanced Parisian sensibility.
At The Scent Nest, D’ORSAY is the choice for those who appreciate the authentic heritage of Parisian perfumery with a contemporary perspective. Samples allow an unhurried exploration.
